Proposal: SentinelZero — Continuous Risk Analysis for BNB Chain #124
Description
🚨 SentinelZero — Continuous Risk Analysis for Smart Contracts on BNB Chain
Project Repository
All code, documentation, and mockups are available here: SentinelZero GitHub Repository
Overview
SentinelZero is a proactive, continuous risk analysis platform for smart contracts and DeFi protocols on BNB Chain.
It aggregates historical exploits, applies a standardized risk taxonomy, and generates dynamic risk scores, helping developers, auditors, and investors prevent exploits before they occur.
“Building trust in BNB Chain, one contract at a time.”
Key Areas:
- Primary: Yield Discovery & Risk Analytics
- Secondary: Web3 Developer Tooling
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 📚 Historical Exploit Database | 30–50 documented incidents classified by risk type |
| 🧭 Risk Taxonomy | Standardized framework for vulnerability classification |
| ⚖️ Dynamic Risk Scoring | Continuous evaluation of contract risk levels |
| 🖥️ MVP Dashboard | Visualization of protocols, risk levels, and alerts |
| 🌐 Open Source | Apache 2.0 licensed, encouraging collaboration |

Problem Statement
Even audited smart contracts remain vulnerable to repeated exploits.
Smaller projects often lack resources for continuous monitoring, leaving protocols on BNB Chain exposed to attacks and financial losses.
SentinelZero addresses this gap with a data-driven, automated approach to identify risks and reduce potential exploits.
Roadmap (6 Months)
| Phase | Duration | Deliverables |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 | 6–8 weeks | Historical exploit database |
| Phase 2 | 8–12 weeks | Taxonomy & initial scoring |
| Phase 3 | 12–16 weeks | MVP dashboard |
| Phase 4 | 4–6 weeks | Whitepaper & open-source documentation |
Expected Impact
- ✅ Improved visibility of smart contract risks
- ✅ Reduced likelihood of post-audit exploits
- ✅ Provides actionable insights to developers and investors
- ✅ Encourages best practices across the BNB Chain ecosystem
Budget Estimate (USD)
| Phase | Cost |
|---|---|
| Phase 1 | $15,000 |
| Phase 2 | $30,000 |
| Phase 3 | $45,000 |
| Phase 4 | $20,000 |
Total: $110,000
